Texas Instruments TL720M05-Q1 Low-Dropout Voltage Regulators

Texas Instruments TL720M05-Q1 Low-Dropout Voltage Regulators are low-dropout linear regulators designed to connect to the battery in automotive applications. The device has an input voltage range extending to 40V (new chip), which allows it to withstand transients (such as load dumps) expected in automotive systems. The device is designed for powering always-on components with only a 17µA quiescent current at light loads. These components include microcontrollers (MCUs) and controller area network (CAN) transceivers in standby systems.

The device (new chip) has a state-of-the-art transient response that allows the output to react quickly to changes in load or line, for example, during cold crank conditions. The device has a unique architecture that minimizes output overshoot when recovering from dropout. During regular operation, the device has a tight DC accuracy of ±1.15% over temperature, line, and load (new chip).

The device also incorporates several internal circuits for protection against overload and over-temperature. The legacy chip also protects against reverse polarity. The TL720M05-Q1 efficiently transfers heat to the circuit board with thermally conductive packaging. The Texas Instruments TL720M05-Q1 devices are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
